| 520 | 8 | |a Annotation. |b Argues that a coherent theory of ethics requires an account of selfhood. According to James R. Mensch, a minimal requirement for ethics is that of guarding against genocide. In deciding which races are to live and which to die, genocide takes up a standpoint outside of humanity. To guard against this, Mensch argues that we must attain the critical distance required for ethical judgment without assuming a superhuman position. His description of how to attain this distance constitutes a genuinely new reading of the possibility of a phenomenological ethics, one that involves reassessing what it means to be a self. Selfhood, according to Mensch, involves both embodiment and the self-separation brought about by our encounter with others--the very others who provide us with the experiential context needed for moral judgment. Buttressing his position with documented accounts of those who hid Jews during the Holocaust, Mensch shows how the self-separation that occurs in empathy opens the space within which moral judgment can occur and obligation can find its expression. He includes a reading of the major moral philosophers--Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Mill, Arendt, Levinas--even as he develops a phenomenological account of the necessity of reading literature to understand the full extent of ethical responsibility. Mensch's work offers an original and provocative approach to a topic of fundamental importance. | |

Buttressing his position with documented accounts of those who hid Jews during the Holocaust, Mensch shows how the self-separation that occurs in empathy opens the space within which moral judgment can occur and obligation can find its expression. He includes a reading of the major moral philosophers--Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Mill, Arendt, Levinas--even as he develops a phenomenological account of the necessity of reading literature to understand the full extent of ethical responsibility. Mensch's work offers an original and provocative approach to a topic of fundamental importance.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Ethics.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85045096</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Phenomenology.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100683</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Self (Philosophy)</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85119709</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Other (Philosophy)</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002004207</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Ethics</subfield><subfield code="0">https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004989</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Morale.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Phénoménologie.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Moi (Philosophie)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Altérité.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">ethics (philosophy)</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">phenomenology.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">PHILOSOPHY</subfield><subfield code="x">Social.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">PHILOSOPHY</subfield><subfield code="x">Ethics & Moral Philosophy.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Ethics</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Other (Philosophy)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Phenomenology</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Self (Philosophy)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Mensch, James R.</subfield><subfield code="t">Ethics and selfhood.</subfield><subfield code="d">Albany, NY : State University of New York Press, ©2003</subfield><subfield code="z">0791457516</subfield><subfield code="z">0791457524</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2002030482</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)50477212</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Book collections on Project MUSE.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=114213</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Internet Archive</subfield><subfield code="b">INAR</subfield><subfield code="n">ethicsselfhoodal0000mens</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ProQuest Ebook Central</subfield><subfield code="b">EBLB</subfield><subfield code="n">EBL3408456</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ebrary</subfield><subfield code="b">EBRY</subfield><subfield code="n">ebr10594783</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">114213</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Project MUSE</subfield><subfield code="b">MUSE</subfield><subfield code="n">muse6020</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">9635555</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">2350671</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

Albany, NY : State University of New York Press, ©2003. 1 online resource (ix, 215 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-210) and indexes. Selfhood and certainty -- Empathy and self-presence -- The divided self: a phenomenological history of ethics -- Rescue and the origin of responsibility -- An ethics of framing -- Freedom and alterity -- Alterity and society. Print version record. Annotation. Argues that a coherent theory of ethics requires an account of selfhood. According to James R. Mensch, a minimal requirement for ethics is that of guarding against genocide. In deciding which races are to live and which to die, genocide takes up a standpoint outside of humanity. To guard against this, Mensch argues that we must attain the critical distance required for ethical judgment without assuming a superhuman position. His description of how to attain this distance constitutes a genuinely new reading of the possibility of a phenomenological ethics, one that involves reassessing what it means to be a self. Selfhood, according to Mensch, involves both embodiment and the self-separation brought about by our encounter with others--the very others who provide us with the experiential context needed for moral judgment. Buttressing his position with documented accounts of those who hid Jews during the Holocaust, Mensch shows how the self-separation that occurs in empathy opens the space within which moral judgment can occur and obligation can find its expression. He includes a reading of the major moral philosophers--Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Mill, Arendt, Levinas--even as he develops a phenomenological account of the necessity of reading literature to understand the full extent of ethical responsibility.
